How Do I Send an Attachment?

Answer

	Open the Mail Program that you are using and you can be online or offline when completing this task. Just make sure that you do go online to send your message when you are finished adding your attachment. Next open a new e-mail window to send a new e-mail. Then click on Insert at the top of the window and Add Attachment, and then browse to find the attachment you want to send and left click on it to highlight it and then click on the Attach button on window to add.
	A Few Special Notes
	•	Attachments can greatly impact the performance of your e-mail. Choose what you send and to whom you send it with care.
	•	Items like scanned photographs can sometimes be very, very large -- 2MB in size to over 20MB. The resolution of pictures displayed on a web browser is typically under 150 dpi. If you scan images at 300, 600 or higher dpi, the quality of the picture may not improve sufficiently to be worth exceptionally long download times for the recipient.
	•	If you typically send attachments, you should NOT e-mail yourself a copy. Nor should you choose to have the messages you send saved, unless you carefully manage your mailbox. Choose the Do not archive sent messages in the Sent folder option in the Preferences settings if it is not important that you keep sent messages.
	•	ALL mail in Web Mail counts against your mailbox quota. If you need to archive large messages, or large numbers of messages, you should consider using a standard mail program in conjunction with Web Mail.
